About me and my therapy practice
It's important you know who I am so that you can trust me and consider sharing your inner world with me free from judgement in a safe place
When we spend time together I'm committed to getting to know you and your unique life experiences to gain insight so we can tailor our time together in way that is right for you
Together we can learn to understand how your past has shaped you and use that knowledge and awareness to embrace new ways of being that help you feel more settled
My natural way is both warm and inquisitive to help you reconnect with your authentic self whilst you grow and deepen your understanding of yourself which can often be very moving, profound and empowering
This process can help to ease the impact of stored emotions and empower you to have greater control over your thoughts
We can often heal from our past, question our own behaviours, thoughts and feelings in a safe, non judgmental environment
If you feel tired of living with stress, self-doubt and anxiety? I can help you become
⦁ More assertive
⦁ Less fearful of what others think of you
⦁ Able to stand up for yourself
⦁ Successful in achieving your goals
⦁ Happy in your own skin
⦁ Free from negative self thoughts like shame
⦁ Less dependent on pleasing others
If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression, and you're looking for support to overcome these challenges, I can offer you support. I 'm dedicated to working closely with my clients to uncover the underlying causes of their struggles and identify any factors that may be confusing. Whether you need insight, analysis, or a gentle nudge, I'm here to support you with empathy, understanding, and a touch of humor as we work towards achieving positive change
I provide online and in-person therapy for individuals dealing with a wide range of issues, from life changing experiences, relationship challenges, grief, depression, and anxiety, to complex PTSD resulting from trauma and childhood experiences of sexual, psychological, and physical abuse

The Counselling process is unique for each individual however I taken the time to break it down into four stages
Stage one -Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. I will ease you in with a reassuring welcome and some simple questions that will allow you to start telling your story in a safe place
Stage two - If we are right for each other, we will start to form a therapeutic relationship. This connection is based on trust respect and openness which will greatly enhance the possibility of a positive result
Stage Three - Deeper discovery. Together we challenge the thoughts and beliefs that are holding you back. We unravel and unpick how you view yourself and your beliefs that perhaps you thought were set in stone
Stage Four - Success will show up as a new freed, enlightened perspective of yourself, the world and those around you. A fresh possibility of restored hope and optimism for the future with knowledge and understanding
